Dragonflies and Damselflies of Burnett County
Recently, Wisconsin has undertaken an Odonata count resulting in an increase of known species existing in the state. From this data, I have assembled a list of Burnett county Odonata.
After the common name are numbers Example (11 of 19). This means 11 of 19 species of Darner found in Wisconsin have been documented in Burnett county.
In the lists below, you may find a dragonfly or damselfly followed by an askerisk *N, *N,E etc. This
means the insect has been found in a county north or counties north and East of Burnett county and the
possibility exists that it may have been missed in the surveys.
